I have over 30 years of direct clinical experience. I work remotely at this time, and blend cognitive behavioral techniques with psychodynamic techniques, including dream work (if interested).

Therapist

I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.

Therapist

Welcome to the start of your therapeutic journey. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) living in Denver, Colorado! I grew up in the Philadelphia area and moved to CO when I fell in love with all it has to offer! I am a Certified ADHD-Clinical Services Provider. As someone with ADHD myself, I understand how it can impact one's life. I have much experience working with clients to cope with how ADHD impacts anxiety & depression. I also specialize in examining how one's queer and neurodivergent identities can compound the trauma of growing up in a world that does not support either identity.

Along with being a therapist, I am a crafter, mother, gardener, queer, neurodivergent, and lover of all things fantasy!
